MW4 Multiplayer Maps and Modes at Launch

Multiplayer opens Friday 23 October 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Official pages name 12 core 6v6 maps for that Friday. PlayStation 4 and last-gen Xbox consoles stay off the platform list.

6 of the 12 already ran in the August test: Cachette, Lithium, Lotus, Rooftops, Silkworm, and Transit 213. The other 6 print as launch arrivals: Coal, Mumbai, Munition, Nautical, Reactor U92, and Sentry. Official pages print 0 extra core 6v6 names beyond those 12.

Campaign Early Access starts Friday 16 October 2026 (PT) for digital Standard or Vault. That window is the Campaign. Multiplayer tiles stay locked that Friday. DMZ tiles stay locked. Warzone tiles stay locked. Calendar: release date.

Kill Block at Westbridge sits beside the 12. Ground War Combat Outpost sits beside the 12. Those spaces do not add a 13th core 6v6 name.

August-test 6, with the official setting line on each:

• Cachette. Outskirts of a French rail terminal. An abandoned wine warehouse and a derelict mechanic garage sit as a covert armory.
• Lithium. A rural Mexican lithium refinery under the Sierra mountains, turned into an active fight.
• Lotus. A Korean fishing village after an amphibious assault. Market, hostel, boathouse, gardens, and residential blocks.
• Rooftops. Snow-lined roofs of New York Hotel Times West. Greenhouse, HVAC decks, boiler room, patio, skylights, pigeon coop, laundry.
• Silkworm. A dense South Korean shopping district. Alleys, a convenience store, a gaming den, a central subway entrance.
• Transit 213. An overgrown central parking structure. Official test notes later put a Transit 213 24/7 playlist in the 2nd public weekend.

Launch-day 6:

• Coal. Remains of a Soviet coal plant in remote mountains. A fallen smokestack, ore chutes, a slurry river, a polluted flood plain.
• Mumbai. A fugitive hideout in a dense residential district around a Victorian market, with a rail line through the blocks.
• Munition. An active North Korean command site with a munitions depot, a monitoring room, and tight interior halls.
• Nautical. Dawn on a South Korean ferry leaving a conflict zone. Debris on deck. Fires on the starboard side and the bow.
• Reactor U92. A Korean reactor complex in meltdown. A concave command room. A boiling containment pool.
• Sentry. A North Korean military base in whiteout. Maintenance garage, generator room, substation, a partly destroyed barracks.

Those 12 names are the core 6v6 list official pages print today. Official pages print 0 ranked-map vote and 0 day-1 moshpit recipe beyond the named modes below.

Respawn modes at launch: Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, Free for All, Counter Attack (new), Inflation (new), and Hijack (new). A Hardcore variant sits on Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, and Free for All.

Round-based tactical modes at launch: Search and Destroy with a Hardcore variant, Gunfight, and Gunfight 10v10. Party modes at launch: Gun Game and Drop Zone.

Ground War at launch names Combat Outpost as new, plus other large-count modes still listed as new. Official pages print 0 extra Ground War map names beyond Hajin Combat Outpost spaces.

Hajin Combat Outpost uses 2 named spaces: Imjin Farmland and Wolves Stadium. Those are large-count Ground War spaces. They stay off the 12-name 6v6 list.

Smartstreaks count kills and objective play toward the same streak bar. Kills stay the primary driver. Objective play also fills the bar. Official pages name 17 killstreaks at launch. 10 of those 17 sat in the August test.

Kill Block is the Westbridge Training Facility. It is a modular live-fire layout that rebuilds between rounds. Official pages say it assembles from 3 sections: 2 outer areas and 1 central combat space. Each section has multiple variants. At launch, more than 500 combinations are possible. Kill Block sat in the August test.

Kill Block supports expanded Gunfight, including 3v3 and Gunfight 10v10 at launch. Official pages say later support is planned for more core Multiplayer modes on that space. Official pages print 0 date for that later support.

Zodiac is a Beenox Resurgence map for Warzone. It sat in the 2nd public test weekend. Hajin also arrives in Battle Royale in Season 1. Zodiac is 0 rows on the 12-name 6v6 list. Warzone integration waits for Season 1. The Season 1 calendar day is still blank.

Create-a-Class unlocks at Player Level 4 in the August test. Gameplay rank from that test reset. Cosmetics persist. Official pages print 0 Soldier Rank prestige table for 23 October beyond Regular Prestige and Classic Prestige as named tracks.

The August test named 10 killstreaks with printed kill counts. Bomb Glider, Care Package, and Impact Warhead sit at 4. Combat Drone sits at 5. Crossfire sits at 6. Missile Salvo sits at 7. Wheelson sits at 8. Official pages still print 17 killstreaks at launch. Official pages print 0 tactical-nuke threshold on those lists.

The official test guide names 22 of the 33 launch guns. Default loadouts on that list include Kastov 762, ISO Nightshade, and Sang 9mm. Create-a-Class opens at Player Level 4. A 5-attachment nuke class stays off this page because official pages print 0 such recipe.

Mastery camos are 3 per mode and 9 in total. Multiplayer mastery is 1 of those 3 tracks. Camo names and grind hours stay on the weapons and camo pages.

Split-screen is 2-player Multiplayer on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5. Official pages print 0 campaign co-op spec. Texture streaming needs a live internet connection for Multiplayer, including Private Matches.

If you sat the August test, walk the 6 launch arrivals ahead of the test 6: Coal, Mumbai, Munition, Nautical, Reactor U92, and Sentry. Those 6 are the names you have not seen in a live playlist. Cachette, Lithium, Lotus, Rooftops, Silkworm, and Transit 213 return as the test 6.

If you skipped the test, start on 1 of the 6 test names so the sightlines are already public. Then rotate into the launch 6. Official pages print 0 best-order ranking. That order is a session plan.

16 October is Campaign only for the digital list. Do not plan a 6v6 night that Friday. 23 October opens the 12, the launch modes, Hardcore variants, Kill Block, and Combat Outpost together.

If you have 1 session on 23 October, spend it on the 6 launch arrivals plus 1 Hardcore respawn mode. If you want Hajin hours or a Warzone drop, that booking sits on the DMZ page or the Warzone page.

Reserve Soldier Rank on the rank page. A pro plays the 12 on your login. Cancel for a full refund any time before the session starts. Campaign window: campaign. Streaks: nuke.
